A solid-state transformer (SST) is an AC-AC converter, sometimes called a power electronics transformer (PET), that replaces ...

Let's look at key formulas that are the building blocks for the transfer of electricity: real and reactive power transfer formulas and their basics. The power triangle represents an essential building ...

Power transformers are often the main source of common-mode noise in isolated switching power converters. Why? Because inside the transformer, the windings on the primary and secondary sides of the ...

Power-transformer designs minimize weight and cost based on three assumptions: (1) the power source is a sine wave, (2) the frequency is fixed, and (3) the voltage will not exceed a specified maximum.

Solid state transformers (SSTs) represent a transformative shift in power electronics, replacing conventional electromagnetic transformers with semiconductor-based devices that offer enhanced ...

I’m sure many readers would question why anyone would want to perform a relatively expensive insulation power factor test on an inexpensive transformer. Typically, if any testing is done, it will be ...
